Inline 6cyl turbodiesel, 110, lockers, rock rails and winch, ladder, full-sized spare with any off-road wheel/tire package, and bucket front / bench 2nd row seats with Windsor leather and the Meridian sound system. If the 3rd row is an option I would not get it for the loadspace and weight...

It was posted several pages back, but don't worry about that - now we don't have to scroll! [emoji41][emoji106] With over 1,000 posts in this thread it's hard to blame people for missing something. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Tapatalk

They've been sourced from Ford for the last decade or so and they've been doing alright except for the Ecoboost 4 in the Evoque and similar models.

I'll say this about the mechanicals. I spent 2 years researching a replacement for my 2010 Touareg TDI expecting a some point there would be a buyback due to Dieselgate, and there was. In that time I spent a lot of time in Grand Cherokees, I spent a lot of time in Ford trucks including the...

Yes, they're a low-volume automobile from a low-volume manufacturer so there are fewer of them out there, period. I see far more mall-crawler Wranglers that never see dirt than I see on the trails too. They run bone-stock D5's all over Moab - and Range Rovers too. With street tires.

In 50 years you may not be allowed to drive yourself on public roads, because you will be a hazard to internetworked autonomous vehicles and their occupants. A looks a look. Compare the current 911 to the 1963 model and the only thing that's even close is a silhouette line drawing. Purists...

Every vehicle on the market gets infotainment complaints. They all suck, until they get Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. I don't even know why automakers bother with their own any more. Since my infotainment got upgraded with Android Auto, I don't even use the native infotainment any more, and...

Those who don't want to believe that Land Rover still makes superior off-road vehicles to the competition won't be swayed by majestic Kazakh canyons and vistas or Moab runs or deep-wilderness African nonprofit support or Andean Road of Death excursions or hundreds of thousands of test miles...

This picture makes a lot more sense. (y)

I really hope not. Definitely not user-serviceable in that case.

Because it's a movie car, and specifically a Bond car, I wouldn't necessarily put a lot of stock I the clamshell hood with bench style front fenders. That would be a nightmare for service with modern engines bigger than a teakettle unless there was an easy way to release and fold down the...

I like how it's shaping up.

US sales of the D5 - not even all of North America - were at 9,800 in 2018. Three years after introduction of the LR3 in 2004, sales crashed from a high of around 20,000 per year in the US to under 5,000. They barely recovered when the LR4 went on sale. The D5 sold more in 2018 than the LR4...

Regulators don't care whether a market "succeeds" or not. Regulation (as opposed to legislation) is meant to influence behavior - either producers or consumers - nothing more. Yes, Heaps barely meet the letter of the law and as such are legal to be sold. Buyer beware. The laws of physics...

Close. Supercharged engines boost over atmospheric pressures because it's only the intake charge that's compressed by the supercharger turbine. Turbochargers use high-pressure exhaust gases to spin the turbo to compress the mixture of clean air and exhaust gases. Turbocharged engines can and...

Nah, there's still the Discovery - I skipped the 3rd row for the cargo space and full sized spare and it has waaayy more space than the Ford Exploder, and it is the real deal off-road - had the corners in the air just yesterday. The Defender 130 will likely be the Family Truxter competition to...

As I've said before, buyers can want in one hand and ******** in the other, and if the car doesn't pass the various certifications required to go on sale in the first place, they ain't gettin' one.

Those look like 10kg plates (assuming they're using metric weights), so ... 240kg minus the racks --> 529 lbs? Assuming they're real.

Sales of the New Discovery (2017-present) aren't actually that bad. About even with where sales have been since 2010, but down from the initial couple years of the D3/LR3 redesign (2004). The bump in 2016 in the US is likely reflective of the incentives on the outgoing model and the people who...

I'm liking it as they very gradually remove bits of cladding and the true shape comes into view. I'm excited to see the long-rumored Ingenium inline-6 turbodiesel, if indeed that's what they will offer in the first year. I'm betting the 130 will be quite popular premium family vehicle in the...
